IEX premarket price against the prior close.

Stocks closed higher but premarket trading points lower, the Nasdaq 100 down most.

Tone

The S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq 100 and the Russell 2000 all closed higher, the Dow up 0.94%. Premarket trading is lower: the Nasdaq 100 down 1.71%, the S&P 500 down 0.77%. Dow premarket prices are not in yet. The S&P 500's structure score is 33, leaning bearish: the index sits below its short-term trend and in the lower part of its recent range. One strong close does not change that, and this morning's weakness fits the bearish read.

The past day's news holds no market-wide stories, so no single driver stands out. One report says Nvidia may put $10 billion into Anthropic's $2 trillion IPO, and Amazon already has much more riding on Anthropic. Another asks how quickly Alibaba's and Amazon's AI capacity becomes cash, a question relevant to this morning's tech weakness.

The economic and earnings calendar is unavailable for this brief, so nothing is listed.
